The Fijian Workhorse: Vijay Singh Outlasts the Field in Cary

Golf’s senior circuit often trades on nostalgia, but Vijay Singh has never been interested in sentimentality. Over three rounds at Prestonwood Country Club in Cary, North Carolina, the World Golf Hall of Famer delivered a no-nonsense clinic at the 2026 SAS Championship, turning the 7,237-yard layout into his personal practice fairway and sealing victory in the $2.3 million event.Golf’s senior circuit often trades on nostalgia, but Vijay Singh has never been interested in sentimentality.

Succeeding defending champion Alex Cejka at the top of the leaderboard, Singh tackled the par-72 layout with the same metronomic rhythm that defined his prime on the regular PGA Tour. While younger senior contemporaries often battle autumn fatigue, the Fijian veteran leaned on his trademark ball-striking to stay ahead of the chasing pack through Sunday’s closing stretch.

Prestonwood offered little margin for error over the weekend, demanding precision off the tee and disciplined iron play into tight pins. Singh met every tactical test, pacing himself through all 54 holes to capture the winner's share of the purse and confirm that his famously monastic approach to the game remains as potent as ever.Prestonwood offered little margin for error over the weekend, demanding precision off the tee and disciplined iron play into tight pins.

As the PGA Tour Champions season heads toward its postseason climax, Singh's victory in Cary serves as a sharp reminder to the rest of the senior ranks: when his driver behaves and the putting surfaces cooperate, the tour's most indefatigable grinder can still dictate terms on any Sunday afternoon.As the PGA Tour Champions season heads toward its postseason climax, Singh's victory in Cary serves as a sharp reminder to the rest of the senior ranks: when his driver behaves and the putting surfaces cooperate, the tour's most indefatigable grinder can still dictate terms on any Sunday afternoon.
